I was even thinking about the rack on the rear but maybe even removing the bars on each side to make it a little narrower. Giving you the inner three bars, but leaving you a nice platform matching the front that you can hang panniers from. Maybe something you folks can produce (So I don&#39;t have to take a pipe cutter to the rack). *wink wink :) Cheers!Mobile Cabin Workshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16105245803527061061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-71676179683011260212013-11-05T09:13:17.845-05:002013-11-05T09:13:17.845-05:00Sorry, I&#39;m a bit late to this party, but I lov...Sorry, I&#39;m a bit late to this party, but I <b>love</b> the rear-mounted Porteur (or Ruetrop :-) rack.

It angers me to read comments like this. Have they nothing better to do than comment about what they think they think know better about, with nothing positive to offer? And if that damn mudflap is there solely for atheistic reasons? So what. Chill out people, if you don&#39;t like it then don&#39;t do it to your bike. No need to prove to everyone on the internet that you&#39;re cooler than them. Sorry to rant. And sorry to pick on you Allan, your comment is just one of many elitist judgments I read under these blog posts. Be kind people. Were all here for the same reason.
